- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

Infections with fungi of the genus ASPERGILLUS; Aspergillosis; Pulmonary Aspergillosis; Disorder Subdivisions: Aspergilloma; Bronchopulmonary Allergic Aspergillosis Endocarditis; Invasive Aspergillosis;
Madu"ra Foot; Mycetoma; Pulmonary Mycetoma; Aspergillosis is a term used to describe a group of pulmonary infections caused by inhaling the fungus Aspergillus; Most people who are exposed to this common fungus are not affected by it, but those with an impaired immune system, or an abnormal immune response, may become ill; Three different infections may be caused by Aspergillus: allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary mycetoma (aspergilloma) or invasive aspergillosis-------------[NORD 2005]----------
